When his leg diameter doubles to 2 inches, he'll finally need a straw when he drinks a protein shake.
I'm re-watching the game (the ESPN feed) and the Green foul probably was a good cal, imho. He ramped himself up for the foul, and it was obviously done to send a message.
I believe that's the requirement for flagrant 2 fouls, not flagrant 1. It wasn't a natural foul motion.
I looked it up cause I wasnt 100% sure. http://www.nba.com/news/rulesregulations_2010_04_17.html I agree Draymonds intent was definitely a send a message type of foul. I thought it was borderline in terms of a flagrant. Thats an odd position for a defender, you dont foul hard enough its an and one, you foul too hard and its flagrant. I thought during the game I wouldnt of called it flagrant, its close though and Kerrs fake outrage was fun to watch.
The fact that he didn't even jump showed me that he wasn't really making a basketball play, just looking to make a hit.
Lots of guys intentionally foul though. It was a “hard” foul definitely and hey it worked out for the Blazers so I guess its good with me.
Like the intentional walk rule in baseball? Where you don't actually have to throw 4 balls anymore, but just say that you are intentionally walking the batter. So just yell FOUL really loud?
No. Intentional foul is penalized like a flagrant 1. It means you intended to foul. You did not intend to make a basketball play on the ball.
It's weird to see all those long time Laker fans acting like their lives have value because a team they like is winning. Er, I mean Warrior fans...
